Filed under: Patriots , NFL Fans The Boston Herald 's JohnTomase is back on the job, and his latest story is about 2006 sixth-round pick, defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith. Smith understands his chances of seeing the field are slim -- Vince Wilfork, Ty Warren and Richard Seymour aren't losing their jobs anytime soon -- but that won't keep him from working hard, giving 110 percent, take...
Filed under: Patriots , NFL Fans Yesterday I wrote that the Boston Herald 's JohnTomase's apology didn't resonate with Patriots fans, and even though the paper has disabled comments for Tomase's online columns, readers are using any comments sections as an opportunity to rip the poor guy. I half-jokingly suggested Tomase might be less likely to have a mental breakdown...
After last Friday's awkwardly (if not sincere) to readers of the Boston Herald, Patriot fans, Patriot front office, Bill Belichick, Pat Patriot and anyone else who's ever been remotely affiliated with the team, Rams walkthrough bumbler JohnTomase did receive a little bit of grace from the editors of his blog, : they turned commenting privileges off. After last Friday's onslaught of negativity...
Filed under: Patriots , NFL Fans Last Friday, Boston Herald beat writer JohnTomase engaged in some metaphorical crow-eating after "reporting" that the Patriots had videotaped the Rams' walkthough prior to Super Bowl XXXVI even though, apparently, they hadn't. To stem the flow of vitriol aimed directly at Tomase, his employers at the Herald have disabled comments on his blog ,...
Filed under: Patriots , NFL Media Watch , Boston Over the last week I've heard from several people who think Boston Herald reporter JohnTomase should have been fired -- not just forced to apologize -- for his February 2 story suggesting the New England Patriots had taped the St. Louis' Rams' walk-through practice before the 2002 Super Bowl. So why wasn't Tomase fired? Tomase's...
Media Nation | Workbench Dan Kennedy asks after reading Boston Herald sportswriter JohnTomase 's screw-up explanation: Where were the editors? What stopped Tomase from tracking down a first-hand source? || Rogers Cadenhead: "Tomase leaves out the only real detail that matters -- the name of the person who passed along bogus information."
Another chapter in the erroneous report that the Patriots videotaped the Rams walkthrough at Super Bowl XXXVI came about today from the Boston Herald beat writer who penned the story, JohnTomase. In my post earlier this week I questioned the reality that some reporters rush to judgement on stories in this 24/7 news cycle we [...]
Filed under: Patriots , NFL Media Watch , Boston Boston Herald reporter JohnTomase, who wrote the explosive and since-retracted report that the Patriots taped the Rams' final walk-through practice before the 2002 Super Bowl, has written an explanation of how he got the story wrong . Unfortunately, the explanation doesn't really explain much of anything. It's really more a timeline of...
Boston Herald reporter JohnTomase attempts to explain how he went wrong in reporting Tapegate, a hoax that should now be known as Tomasegate (or Tomasequiddick, if you prefer). Tomase’s explanation for his misstep is basically that he was told an urban legend so many times that he pretty much had no choice to believe [...]
JohnTomase gives his mea culpa today on how everything went wrong for him on his story right before the SuperBowl about the Patriots taping the Rams’ walkthrough. For the past few days, Tomase has been facing a lot of heat in New England, and a columnist for his paper the Herald, Tony Massarotti took some of [...]
By JohnTomase / Herald Staff : The linebacking corps got younger for basically the first time since Bill Belichick became head coach in 2000. How quickly the newcomers pick things up will go a long way toward defining the Pats defense. By the time Super Bowl XLII rolled around, the Patriots boasted the oldest starting linebacker corps in the league. The quartet of Junior Seau, 39, Tedy...
Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae. Couldn't help but sneak a peek or two to see the comments section attached to the Boston Herald's apology to the Patriots and the follow up "explanation" by JohnTomase. The post was in and of itself a joke - and a clever marketing ploy by the Herald to generate tens of thousands of hits to its website. While...
Boston Herald reporter JohnTomase said he "couldn't have been more wrong" in his story about the New England Patriots taping the walkthrough of the St. Louis Rams before Super Bowl XXXVI.
